Video: Inside Look - CAF's New Engine Project On The B-29 FIFI

Even tho the Commemorative Air Force B-29 FIFI had an extremely successful first flight with its new engines on August 5, 2010, the secondary test flights on the 6th revealed some issues with the number 2 engine that led to it being grounded. Even with this setback, it's still an amazing and fascinating project worthy of our respect and appreciation. This video shows some of the work it took to get the airplane back to the point that it could fly again. Hopefully they'll have the problems worked out soon and FIFI will be back in the air bringing honor to those who have served!
